Stereotypes of Mexicans and Illegal Immigrants

Stereotypes of Mexicans and Illegal Immigrants All Mexicans are landscapers or wrench workers and all Mexican women are housekeepers and maids. T here(predicate) are loads of different stereotypes associated with Mexicans. These stereotypes originated when Mexicans began to illegally cross the border from Mexico into the United States. Mexicans wanted to lie with to this country and live the American Dream. Unfortunately when they arrived here they be it nearly impossible to find a high paying, steady transmission line because no comp whatsoever would hire an illegal immigrant which led them to work into manual labor.Since the major(ip)ity of Mexicans coming to the United States at that time were illegal immigrants workings in manual labor, this is where the stereotype that all Mexicans are landscapers or construction workers came from. Also, that all Mexican women are housekeepers and maids. I was born here in the United States, however my mom is from Guatemala and my dad is from Mexico. Hearing these kinds of stereotypes can be offensive and sometimes even hurtful to me coming from a Mexican background.Years ago my parents had illegally crossed the border from Mexico into the United States by trying to escape from all of the drug trafficking and terrible living conditions that were going on in their countries. It wasnt easy for them to find a line of reasoning here since hardly any company would hire an illegal immigrant. After a long time of searching, my dad finally found a job working as a painter at some plan apartments, and my mom as a housekeeper. Both my parents work hard for what belittled they earn. Sadly neither of them finished graduating high school due to inadequacy of money.Now it is up to me to make a difference and be the first in my familys generation to graduate high school and college and live a successful life. I think corporation has taken a major downturn because of the way stereotypes affect people and how people react to macrocosm grouped into one stereotype or another. Today we are real quick to judge others after we find out where they are from, what escape they are or how much money they have. I believe this society needs to work on stopping that habit before it goes any further and gets worse.
